NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. - Junior Amanda McCarthy captured first-place in the 100 and 200-yard breaststroke and the 200-yard individual medley events to lead the Iona Gaels to a 183-109 victory over the Siena Saints at the Hynes Athletic Center in New Rochelle Wednesday evening. The loss marks the Saints' third in as many contests.

Coratti also placed second in the 100-yard backstroke event, while teammate Melissa Nocera (Holbrook, N.Y./Saint Anthony's) tallied a second-place finish in the 1000-yard freestyle event.
The Saints have just over a month to prepare before taking on the Fairfield Stags on December 9 in Fairfield, Conn. The meet is slated for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
